Chapter 1679: Buddhists split, drinking and talking about the world
Mo Fan did not blame the boss. After all, the other party did not do anything excessive. Instead, he said a few good words for the waiter and gave him a few spirit stones as a tip.
This move naturally shocked the waiter so much that he knelt down to thank him, but he was also extremely happy in his heart.
"You used to be a monk, didn't you?"
"Why don't you go to the temple to serve the clay Buddha statues instead of opening a shop here?" Mo Fan looked at the shopkeeper who was obviously relieved and asked curiously.
“Reporting to His Majesty the Demon Emperor, several decades ago, after the Three Precepts Saint Monk ascended to heaven, the eminent monks of our Buddhist sect engaged in a fierce conflict over who would take over the position of Saint Monk. Afterwards, the entire Buddhist sect was torn apart, splitting into several factions.
This disheartened a devout Buddhist like me, so I returned to secular life and started a small business to support my family. "The shopkeeper sneered.
"I see!"
"Everything in the world is ultimately about profit!"
Mo Fan sighed and without saying anything else, he climbed the stairs with the two women beside him.
"Brother Mo, I invited you over for a drink, why are you so sentimental?"
As soon as he went upstairs, Mo Fan heard Zhan Tai Xuan Yue teasing him.
"Because I'm different from Brother Zhan Tai, I started as a small monster and worked my way up, so I feel quite emotional about what's happening now. It reminds me of many things in the past."
Mo Fan smiled slightly, walked over to sit next to the two of them, and then spoke again, "I once wanted to create a harmonious world without disputes and barriers, and in fact, it is indeed what I wished for.
But after listening to what the shopkeeper said just now, I gradually realized that the world's harmony and peace are just a temporary calm in the long timeline.
Just like a lake, it cannot remain calm forever; even the slightest breeze will create ripples and waves."
"Things in the world are just like this. After a long period of separation, there will be reunion. After a long period of reunion, there will be separation. This is the general trend of the world. How can there be a dynasty that will never decline?
Unless you can establish an immortal dynasty that dominates the world and transcends all living beings, then perhaps you will be able to truly stand firm in the long river of time.
As long as the laws still exist and there is a ruler in the world, then naturally there will be no chaos." Zhan Taixuanyue said with a smile.
"Brother Zhan, you're joking. How could it be so easy to establish an immortal dynasty?"
"Throughout history, countless mighty men and heroes have perished in this unrealistic fantasy. This is far more difficult than ascending to immortality!
No, it's unrealistic!" Mo Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"In fact, I agree with what Brother Zhan said. If we want eternal peace in the world, we must have eternal laws and order.
Although establishing an immortal dynasty is difficult, it is not impossible.
The gods and demons who created the world were once powerful, but weren’t they all destroyed in the end?
So as long as we have a goal and as long as we can keep moving towards it, we may be able to achieve some seemingly unrealistic fantasies!
Even if we don’t succeed in the end, at least we tried hard, right?!"
Emperor Qin looked at Mo Fan with a smile.
"Brother Emperor, what you said makes sense!"
Mo Fan was startled at first, then he smiled carefreely. He raised his glass and smiled at the two of them, saying, "It's been decades since we last met. I didn't expect you'd all come here too. Let's have a drink!"
"You and Brother Di are two complete freaks. In these past few decades, you've both achieved breakthroughs. Brother Di has reached the late Saint Venerable stage, and you've also comprehended the second law. Only I'm still stuck where I am..."
Zhan Taixuanyue smiled bitterly and took a sip of wine.
Mo Fan was slightly startled when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Di Qin, only to see him say nonchalantly, "In countless reincarnations, I have hidden many back-up plans. After breaking through the Saint Venerable Realm, my cultivation will undergo earth-shaking changes.
So it's not that I'm practicing fast, it's just that I'm more prepared!"
"Tell me the truth, are you the Samsara Taoist who once dominated the upper realm?!" Zhan Tai Xuanyue suddenly stared at Di Qin.
"do not know!"
But Emperor Qin shook his head and said calmly, "I don't even know how many times I've reincarnated, so naturally my memories of those reincarnations aren't very clear."
"..."
Zhan Taixuanyue was speechless. At the same time, he sent a voice message to Mo Fan, "Brother Mo, I suspect this guy is just pretending. He may have recalled his past reincarnation memories! Otherwise, how could he be so perverted?"
"..."
Mo Fan was speechless, but he still sent a voice message: "I agree with your idea!"
"Hey! We really have a lot in common. How could we say we are good friends?" Zhan Tai Xuan Yue winked at Mo Fan.
Mo Fan's face twitched slightly, and he transmitted his voice, "That's what they call great minds think alike..."
"You two, what are you talking about in front of me?"
"You won't say bad things about me behind my back, will you?"
Emperor Qin stared at Mo Fan and the other cultivator with a strange expression. The two cultivators turned to look at him at the same time and shook their heads seriously, saying, "No."
"What do you think about the celestial beings descending to the mortal world this time?" Mo Fan asked, changing the subject.
"How else can I watch?"
"Just sit and watch!" Zhan Taixuanyue grinned.
"..."
Mo Fan rolled his eyes and looked at Di Qin.
"The cultivators from the upper realms have repeatedly descended to slaughter cultivators like us from the lower realms, treating the lower realms as their own medicine garden. This is truly despicable!
This time, if these cultivators from the upper realm really dare to come down to the lower realm, they must be taught a painful lesson, so that the cultivators from the upper realm will know that not all cultivators from the lower realm are weak and can be bullied!
To put it bluntly, those who are good at bullying are just relying on their high level of cultivation to oppress the weak!
Therefore, to deal with those who bully us, the only way is to give them a head-on blow so that they can feel that we are not eggs, but stones and steel!
That’s the only way to scare them!”
Emperor Qin spoke in a deep voice, then looked at Mo Fan again and said, “But this time I don’t intend to take action, because I know you need these celestial beings more than I do, so just let go and do it.
It stands to reason that there would be no cultivators above the Saint Emperor realm among the celestial beings in the lower realm, but there are exceptions to everything.
If a Saint Venerable Realm cultivator truly descends to the lower realms, I will personally take action!"
Mo Fan was deeply moved by Di Qin's words, and at the same time, he gained a better understanding of Di Qin's character.
"This guy is worthy of being the Human Emperor. He really has some of the spirit of a Human Emperor. If it were that bald donkey with three rings, I guess the first thing he would do after his breakthrough would be to beat you to death and take your treasure for himself.
But this guy didn't do that. Instead, he is still helping you. Although he also means to repay you a favor, it is still a good thing overall.
"But I can sense that this fellow has great ambitions, and he might even want to subjugate you!" At this moment, Uncle Qian's voice echoed in Mo Fan's mind.
"Subdue me?"
Mo Fan was stunned. He had never thought of this.
"Why, are you surprised?"
"Guess why this guy was reincarnated into the imperial family in this life?"
"Adding to what he just said, without exception, it shows that his ambition is huge, perhaps even bigger than we imagined!
Now in the world of Jiuzhou, you are the only one who can compete with him. As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If he really wants to subdue you, will you respect him or not?"
